As organisations increasingly rely on geographically dispersed workforces there is an emerging need to collaborate on projects that span distributed teams and different time frames. This includes a need for collaboration in the form of brainstorming. Wiki may provide a powerful medium for asynchronous distributed collaboration in such situations. A design for evaluating the use of wiki as a sha...

Wikis are increasingly being used in world-wide, intranet and even in personal settings. Unfortunately, current wikis are data islands: people can read and edit them, but machines can only send around text strings without structure. Wiki migration, publishing from one wiki to another one and free choice of syntax hold back broader wiki usage. We define a wiki interchange format (WIF) that allow...

The analysis of biological networks is increasingly important in the life sciences and in particular in systems biology. Computer-based analysis tools are exploited for the investigation of these networks. However, to find relevant data sources can be a time-consuming task, access to information changes, frequently it is not obvious to a user which tools can be used in combination with specific...

A huge amount of administrative effort is required for large wiki systems to produce and maintain high quality pages with existing naive access control policies. This paper introduces SocialWiki, a prototype wiki system which leverages the power of social networks to automatically manage reputation and trust for wiki users based on the content they contribute and the ratings they receive. Socia...

Wiki is well-known content management systems. Semantic wikis extends the classical wikis with semantic annotations that made its contents more structured. Tabular representations of information have a considerable value, especially in wikis which are rich in content and contain large amount of information. For this reason, we propose an approach for automatically generating tables for represen...

In the social sciences, there is a longstanding tension between data collection methods that facilitate quantification and those that are open to unanticipated information. Advances in technology now enable new, hybrid methods that combine some of the benefits of both approaches. Drawing inspiration from online information aggregation systems like Wikipedia and from traditional survey research,...
